An unexpected error occurred. Further steps:

* Verify that you have the latest version of PlatformIO using
  `pip install -U platformio` command

* Try to find answer in FAQ Troubleshooting section

[xobs]

Is this due to Platformio not supporting tilde ranges, which were fixed by @mmoskal in f5d582c5a4637a38f94d2f41189279ebd8ba4c81?

[pelikhan]

Probably related.

[pelikhan]

Going further but still issues which might be pio specific.

[pelikhan]

It does try to build locally so I can make progress here.

[xobs]

In order to get it building, I needed to remove ~/.platformio/platforms/ltc/ which had the older symver value.

I've posted a repo that should give you a blob you can link against, as long as you provide a functionsAndBytecode symbol.

Do you have a good way of debugging this binary?

[mmoskal]

You should be able to use hardware debugger (eg IBDAP), openocd and gdb. Point it to the elf binary but deploy pxt generated code. You cannot source debug pxt code but you can the C++

[xobs]

The problem is that the build is failing, so there is no elf binary to feed to a debugger.

[mmoskal]

Oh. Then this is advice for later :))
